Editorial: Spatial and Temporal Perception in Sensory Deprivation

The Research Topic aimed at providing new insights into the impact of sensory deprivation on spatio-temporal abilities and their subtending cortical circuits. The Research Topic attracted a wide range of submissions across the spectrum of this theme, and overall, all the submitted papers fall within one of the following topic contributions: (a) papers identifying impaired/preserved abilities after a sensory loss/deprivation; (b) papers investigating cortical plasticity and reorganization mechanisms following sensory loss/deprivation; (c) papers presenting newly developed tools to assess and/or train spatial impairments resulting from sensory loss/deprivation. With this editorial, we intend to discuss the findings of the submitted contributions within the broader context of the literature on the theme by considering the three above-mentioned main contribution categories
